Description
Elongate; subdepressed; yellowish-red; antennae black with antennomeres 9–11 yellow; elytra with suture, lateral margin, and apical margin black; eyes dark. Head: vertex with small depression, medial sulcus present, impunctate; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere cylindrical, elongate, 1 longer than 2; 2 cylindrical, shorter than 1; 3 cylindrical, elongate, 2× length of 2; 4–10 cylindrical, elongate, decreasing in length; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–8 punctate with setae; 9–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight, slightly converging then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface strongly, moderately punctate, disc with impunctate longitudinal medial line; slight impression on present each side of basal margin; pronotal length 1.2–1.4 mm; pronotal width 1.2–1.4 mm. Scutellum: broadly triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin slightly expanding apically, smooth, slightly laminate; apex rounded, smooth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus slightly angulate, produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate; elytral length 4.4–4.8 mm; elytral width 1.9–2.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in male, rounded, entire in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with reddish seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.0–6.4 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia whitei. It can be distinguished by the straight lateral margin of the pronotum and the smaller size.
